constant cooperation / balancing act with others

1 Oktober 2024

Beeing a leader or a coworker is a constant cooperation / balancing act with others

In my experience one of the more important areas to address is the balance between feeling and logic,

I have recorded spoken presentations on the following subjects and launched them, and also updated the homepage

A person coming back from a long sick leave

-  People having been on a long sick leave need to be focused on, when they come
  back and start working again.

-  Depending on the reason for the long sick leave, the Welcome Program needs to be
   tailored-made to each individual.

-  Everybody needs to feel safe, especially those who have been on a long sick leave.

 

The essential thing is that the person does not fall back into sick leave

When a person is coming back from a long sick leave, it's important to consider the following:

 

1.Gradual Reintegration

2.Communication

3.Support Systems

4.Regular Check-ins

5.Team Involvement

6.Health and Safety

Exampel of a Welcome Program:

When you talk with A person coming back from a long sick leave use Solution focused conversations it is an approach to communication and problem-solving, that focuses on identifying and implementing solutions rather than dwelling on problems.


A way to communicate that  I recommend:

1.  Together create a preferred picture of how the coworker wants the future to look like.

2.  Strengths and Resources: Discuss together things that the coworker does already
     today and works well.

3.  Positive Language: What is working well today? Don’t focus on the problems

4.  Goal Setting: Setting clear and achievable targets together so that individuals can
     work towards positive outcomes

5.  Small Steps and Progress: Breaking down larger challenges into smaller, more
     manageable steps, celebrating and acknowledging even small progress is
     encouraged to build momentum.

6.  Collaboration: Between the coached person and the coach

7.  Acceptance: Are you understanding and accepting the problem

8.  Brief and Time-Limited: The goal is to bring about positive change in a relatively short
     period.

Diversity in the working group and Group Development

Different experiences (background), nationalities, gender, socioeconomic statuses, religious and sexual preferences, age and very much more

How do you create Diversity in the working group and Group Development

1.  Embrace and Celebrate Diversity

2.  Build an Inclusive Environment

3.  Facilitate Group Development

4.  Encourage Collaborative Learning

5.  Monitor and Evaluate Progress

To develop the group

is particularly important in diversified (mixed) teams, since the risk of conflicts then increases Referens Dr. Susan A. Wheelan

Quality Culture

In an organisation it is important that everybody get their basic needs satisfied and this should be done both by the manager and the coworkers

Generally one has three tasks in an organisation

-  The Actual job







-  Ensuring that what you deliver is with quality ( use adequete improvement and quality
    tools )







 
-  Improving the actual job by updating processes ETC.

Is an environment where team members always care for the quality of their work and when needed take corrective actions to ensure that the agreed quality is always reached

 

Things to bear in mind when establishing a Quality Culture:

 

1.Establish a system that promotes Quality Culture

2.Lead by example

3.Make sure that customers are in focus by everyone

4.Design quality from the start by e.g. using incremental development

5.Always use Improvement tools

6.Monitor what bad quality costs

7.Try to achieve an organisation where crises are prevented and the prevention is rewarded  (you tend to take risky and costly decisions in crises)

8.Full ownership of quality by everyone (everyone has a customer even if not all are in direct contact with the end customer)

9.Use cross functional teams to benefit from all knowledge in your company

10.Everyone is respected and knowledge from different persons is taken into acount when a decision is taken

11.Where openness and vulnerability mean that it is okay for everyone to not know everything, and this fact can be admitted and accepted. 

Create and promote a positive  climate where everyone feels safe, listened to, trusted and seen

– and positive feedback is used a lot

A happy and positive person feeling safe does a better job

 

Save the negative feedback to the improvement situation when you can look upon it as improvement possibilities

-  Bring positive criticism in a group

-  Negative criticism face-to-face
